How Your Personalized Dry Eye Treatment Plan Starts Here

Dry eye is a common yet often overlooked condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to symptoms such as stinging, burning, redness, and fluctuating vision. While occasional dryness can be caused by environment or screen use, chronic dry eye is usually a sign of an underlying issue that requires professional care.
 

Common Causes of Dry Eye

Dry eye can develop for many reasons, including:
 

•          Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): Blocked oil glands in your eyelids that prevent tears from staying on your eyes.

•          Aging and Hormonal Changes: Tear production naturally decreases with age.

•          Medications or Medical Conditions: Some prescriptions or health issues can impact tear quality or quantity.

•          Environmental Factors: Dry climates, contact lenses, and prolonged screen time can worsen symptoms.
 

Understanding the cause of your dry eye is the first step toward relief, and that’s why seeing an optometrist is so important.
 

Why You Need an Optometrist for Dry Eye Care

Every case of dry eye is unique. At Texas State Optical, our doctors use advanced diagnostic technology to pinpoint the exact cause of your dryness. By evaluating the health of your tear film, eyelids, and meibomian glands, we can create a treatment plan tailored specifically for you. Treating only the symptoms with over-the-counter drops may bring temporary relief, but it won’t resolve the underlying issue.
 

Personalized Treatment Options

Your personalized treatment plan may include one or more of the following:
 

•          Prescription Eye Drops: Designed to improve tear quality and reduce inflammation.

•          Punctal Plugs: Tiny devices inserted into the tear ducts to keep natural tears on the eyes longer.

•          Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT): Gentle, non-invasive therapy that stimulates gland function and reduces inflammation.

•          Red Light Therapy: Improves circulation, supports healing, and helps restore tear film balance.
 

By combining these treatments, our team can restore comfort, protect your vision, and improve your overall quality of life.
